We beat India’s incarceration rate 716 to 30. Canada merely comes in with a rate of 114. Canada is right next door. What is the U,S. doing to win these dubious honers?
Oh! we have war mongering Trolls, who are against the death penalty, while calling for bombing Syria & every other Muslim country, because their bully leader, wants to get peoples minds off reckless government spending & the dubious trophies.

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:16:09 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/?p=24162#comment-145148Wikipedia is my favorite news source, when I’m to lazy to find an eye witness. 100% of the people I talk with, who were in any “Newspaper”, say the story was fiction.
“News” on television, is mostly scripted, rehearsed & edited, for entertainment purposes. The Sum Ting Wong farce, was a rare exception.
Fact #1. California’s recidivism rate @ 70%, is the highest in the nation.
Fact #2. Solitary confinement does not improve anything.
There is nothing funny about these facts El Woody.
There is a remote possibility Loni & Tommy will find a way to change the dismal facts.

The issue here is not how many lifers are in prison, but how many of them are being held in solitary confinement. I’ll go with my original statement that most of the inmates of the SHU are lifers.

You don’t understand metaphors very well do you? Prisoners can see the light of day in an exercise yard. You’re funny, Brucey.

And gee whiz! Who knew that the SFChron is a corrupt anti-liberal news source? Only you, Brucey!

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 05:30:58 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/?p=24162#comment-145109@ 9 & 10. Thanks for making me look up the facts. Lifers are 1 in 5 in California & New York. 1 in 10 nationally. No resemblance to MOST OF. The prison systems are draining the states money. $1 million to keep a lifer. The older prisoners get, the more money in medical costs, to keep them locked up. 81 year old Charles Manson, does not want to get out.
California’s 3 strikes law, puts stupid crooks & druggies in prison for life.
As for convicts eeing the light of day. That is based mostly on behavior. Prisons have outdoor exercise areas.
Amazing! You found a corrupt news source, more anti- liberal than anything I’ve found.

Speaking of reading comprehension problems, what part of “most of” do you not understand?

Don’t worry Brucie! MOST OF those ***holes will never see the light of day again other than through bars. And this is as it should be.

Something like what is done to unwanted dogs, who bite the artificial hand that feeds them. So maybe the die hard liberal politicians should be locked up in a cell with the worst of the worst, then they will want to sell the meanest ones for body parts, like they do in China.
@6. Who said the inmates in solitary confinement are all lifers? If your reading comprehension was worth a rat’s dropping, Elwood, you would have read that I’m concerned with the convicts in solitary confinement being released someday.
